Publishers are now using content to ”extend the life” of their titles and that’s ”good for us” says GAME, because they’ll ”sell more”. Capitalism lives.
”Certainly, publishers are using content to extend the life of games to extend the reasons to keep them – that’s a good thing, as it’s good for us and we’ll sell more of the games,” said GAME CEO Ian Shepherd. 2nd-hand user charges aren’t denting trade.
“No we’ve not seen the changes in the commercial nature of how some games have launched make any impact on the trade-in category. It’s still a strong part of our business.” EA, THQ and Sony have all introduced measures to charge for trade-ins.
Have second-hand fees for content codes put you off the trade-in catalogue?
